[QUOTE="lucasjohnsonhustle, post: 1305094, member: 630007"] Lets not be naïve or foolish here Illini fans. This hire is monsterous for the future of the Illini and getting us back to the glory days. You have to have the top talent in the state to win and history shows the one and dones are from Chicago....not Peoria or even Stl. This is now a formable coaching staff this going to do damage on the recruiting trail in the next 3 years. If you want to hang with and beat the big boys you have to be willing to play the games with the politics it takes to get it done. This is the first coach I can remember that knows how to play the games these days. I see that it is ridiculous to have the seal of approval from Champaign. It absolutely necessary to seal the borders and prevent teams from robbing the best state talent from the Illini. THis is first time I have felt like we have a legitimate chance to land AYO now. This was a huge hire! This is exciting bc this is what we needed to man up and talent up. Athletes will be coming to Champaign and this is going to be a top 10 program again within 3-5 years. We have a plan that is being executes perfectly now. OH....and MIZZ.....TILMON.....HE GONE!!! KU bound. [/QUOTE]
